Blue wall in Seminyak Bali

For 2.5 years I have been looking at a nasty grey brick wall in my garden. Arriving home last night the nasty grey wall had dissappeared and was replaced by a bright blue wall. Everyone here likes it, Ika said it looks cleaner than the old style. I agree, nothing looks worse than a grey brick wall, they should make a law to ban them.

The 2 Balinese ladies who painted the house and garden wall took only 2 days, using 5*5 kilos of paint (white and blue). Ika said they only charged 40,000rp per day each. That’s fabulous! Where else can you get people to come to your house, paint the place for basically US$5 a day each?

Our new blue wall is cool, I reckon, the only mishap was that our pembantu, Ana, (nice lady), turned the hose pipe on it, an hour after it was painted. She was watering the bushes and unfortunately there are some streaky patches. I’ll probably get the painters to come back at some point, but for now I can live with it.
